Welcome to Smartieville (2016-17)

WOW! Here we are at the first week of school! It was so nice meeting everyone last week, and I hope you all enjoyed your last weekend of summer! I will update this blog each week with curriculum information as well as important announcements from the school. Thank you for filling out the forms last week during meet and greet. If your child’s transportation has changed or you were not able to make it to meet and greet, please send in a note letting me know how your child is to get home on Monday. THANK YOU!

This week in school:

Inclusion Activities: My top priority is to build strong partnerships with each Smartie and to develop a cohesive and connected community of bright and talented learners. To that end, we will be doing many fun and engaging activities that are meaningful (but light hearted) to learn about each other.

Writing: We will be working on setting up writer’s workshop notebooks.

Math: The Smarties will be taking a first quarter pre-test and a 3rd grade assessment test to determine if there are any learning gaps that need to be addressed.

Reading: Just like in writing, we will be working in establishing reading interactive notebooks and discussing our reader's workshop procedures. For the first week of school, please make sure your child has a chapter book to read. More information will follow about my independent reading program and how to select books at open house.

Social Studies: Our first unit of study will be map and globe skills.

**HOMEWORK: Me Puzzle assignment, family photo (either a 3x5 or a 4x6), all forms from meet n greet, have on hand all school supplies and supplies from Ms. Seymour's supplemental list, and review the Cobb County folder information that is scheduled to go home Monday afternoon.
